This study seeks to compare how patients rank perception of anxiety, modesty, dignity and overall satisfaction when patients are provided with either a standard patient gown or a standard patient gown plus a pair of specialized surgical undergarments (COVR Medical) for orthopedic surgical procedures.
Given the movement in patient modesty, and the limited number of studies focused specifically on how preserving patient modesty/privacy impacts the patient's perception of the hospital experience, targeted studies with larger sample sizes are clearly needed to better understand these complex interactions. This study seeks to compare how patients rank perception of anxiety, modesty, dignity and overall satisfaction when patients are provided with either a standard patient gown or a standard patient gown plus specialized surgical undergarments (COVR Medical) for orthopedic surgical procedures. The investigators hypothesize that the group with the standard patient gown plus a specialized surgical undergarment will have lower anxiety and increased perception of modesty, dignity, and satisfaction. A secondary objective is to determine whether there is a difference in treatment surgical subgroups regarding anxiety, modesty, dignity, and overall satisfaction.

Either style may be worn for upper extremity, trunk, spine procedures, etc. where an undergarment would be preferred along with a standard hospital gown. The garments are available in a variety of sizes. The COVR garments can be released at the hip(s)/waistline for improved access to the lateral hip and include retractable panels for procedural access to the groin and genitals if needed by the care team. |
